finding words on microsoft word?

It depends somewhat on the version you are using - but basically you select "Edit > Find" or "Ctrl+F."

In the "Find" dialog box ("Find" tab) you type in the word you want to find and then click on the selection for "Highlight all items found" and make sure "Main Document" is selected in the drop-down box. These selection options are located right below where you type in the word you want to find.

If you want to automatically replace the word you can click on the "Replace" tab and you now how the option to type in a replacement word. You have the option to go through the document and select which instances you want to replace (Find > Next and then select replace for when you want to replace it, or just Find > Next to move to the next location of the word). You can also select "Replace all" which will automatically replace all instances of the word you are searching for with your replacement word.

MS Word Spelling & Grammar checking F7 will check grammar but it can be turned off and will miss more complicated ones (paste examples from link below and see which ones it catches.)

You can use the Find command (Ctrl-F) to look for specific passive verbs and work on those, then look to see what you have missed.

for example "by the"
